Can ChatGPT replace Game developers?

ChatGPT has got a lot of hype on how it can write good codes. And many are testing to find out if it can replace actual developers.

This is what ChatGPT has to say about it.

[{"selector":"#anim-c65060fd-2a86-494c-9bb2-9ba71ee9f500","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":50,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4be49c32-e2b0-41b0-859a-fb90d2f2969b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Does that mean ChatGPT is useless for game development?

[{"selector":"#anim-a0a6fde4-8c45-4116-b608-e29d450cf55a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":50,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8e878e8c-aee9-4739-ac38-e5fe96300e35","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

ChatGPT is trained on a wide variety of programming languages and can generate code snippets for a variety of tasks.

[{"selector":"#anim-67631cac-9b8f-444c-96d7-3ad9987f3dbf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":1700,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5f97e755-e193-456e-af89-3983e66bb8c2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7f72d425-0cd4-4ac7-827c-c8a458c66367","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 159.28633%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Game programmers do look online, when they are stuck at particular tasks. Now, they can ask ChatGPT for custom codes for their project.

[{"selector":"#anim-ab8faf3c-9933-4ecd-a8b8-f8c810cbe4c7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":1700,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bc6ab18f-be0c-4b6b-9c93-5f2d1e8e69eb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c9f8ff39-072b-4553-8df3-db50b49340e4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 125.41507%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

At the current state, ChatGPT is well equipped to help game developers build their game faster. but it's not capable of creating a game itself.

[{"selector":"#anim-e6606e86-ab91-43e7-b761-50f550807a46","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":1700,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e6232586-cfe7-4878-b0ea-94a93391f07b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-87e5880f-4afc-4608-8923-b8316f9ace83","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 133.07643%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

ChatGPT can also be used to create game stories, generate ideas and game dialogues. The application of ChatGPT in game development is endless.

[{"selector":"#anim-21d5607c-cd2b-494e-b5c0-05333767d7b2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":1700,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6f0ffc58-7d9e-4eb2-bac1-e132ed2b9972","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6008ff36-086d-48e7-aedd-b664b79f7de9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 133.07643%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Many have tested ChatGPT's capability for game development and have created games with it's help.

[{"selector":"#anim-493a7472-346f-4c36-b141-d0320f2c0ed3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":1700,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c5194755-fb86-4b5a-9947-afdf6deca6f1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0da9e558-bb98-4a46-ba67-8c2d19e3f354","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 152.33492%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

We tested ChatGPT with a small code for Unity game development and it did not disappoint.
